Pickering Simulation Modules
Pickering offer PXI Simulation Modules for Sensor Simulation that include simulating environmental sensors, including Temperature, Pressure, Altitude, Movement, PLC/Instrument Communications and Strain Gauges.
As electronic devices get more intelligent, they require many sensors to provide data for decision-making and initiating the appropriate action. When it comes to New Product Introduction (NPI) and manufacturing test, it can be difficult to use the actual sensors used with the device. So, these inputs are better simulated in test. This makes the test system smaller, faster, and potentially more accurate.
Features:
- Standard resolution modules/cards – for sensor emulation applications.
- Precision Programmable Resistors
- RTD and Strain Gauge Simulators
- High setting Resolution
- Excellent Stability and Accuracy
- PXI Load Resistor Modules
- Battery Simulators

Pickering VXI to PXI Cross Reference
VME eXtensions for Instrumentation (VXI) is an open standard platform for automated test based on the modular VME computer bus. Introduced in 1987, this modular chassis-based architecture reduced the size and increased the performance of high-end test systems. VXI systems provided higher data transfer rates and real-time performance not possible with rack-and stack systems, and were principally successful in the military and aerospace markets. However, VXI is now over 30 years old and many of the leading T&M companies are now no longer supporting the standard.
More test systems designers are choosing the PCI eXtensions for Instrumentation (PXI) platform when designing new modular test systems or replacing or updating existing test systems such as VXI. Originally introduced in 1997, PXI is an open T&M standard now supported by almost 70 companies working under the umbrella of the PXI Systems Alliance (PXISA), which publishes the PXI specification and ensures instrumentation interoperability. Pickering Interfaces is one of six current Board level members of the PXISA.
Features:
- Better Availability of PXI
- Hardware costs are lower for PXI
- PXI throughput at peak bandwidth of 132 MB/s
- PXI modules are significantly smaller in footprint

HEL Group ISO Battery Testing Calorimeter
The iso-BTC (Battery Testing Calorimeter) is an isothermal calorimeter designed for the characterization of thermal behavior and electrical performance of battery cells under normal and extended use conditions. It supports a range of adaptors which allows a wide range of cell formats to be analyzed.
The iso-BTC supports the full integration of a Charge-Discharge unit, allowing for the repeated, automated cycling of battery cells under a range of operating conditions, while concurrently recording both the battery’s electrical performance and the heat evolved. It can also conduct accelerated aging tests, allowing the effect of battery aging on cell performance to be investigated. Battery chemistry, electrode composition, and battery cell type can also be investigated within cell development using the iso-BTC.
Thermal mapping (multipoint temperature measurement) allows the user to identify regions of a battery that generate greater thermal energy to be highlighted. Along with the Thermal Behavior characterization of the battery cell over a range of temperatures and Charge/Discharge rates, this information can be used to inform effective and targeted thermal management strategies within the battery module and pack.
